carrot salad recipe

Simple, unique, and flavorful is what this Moroccan carrot salad is all about! Tender cooked carrots are tossed with fresh herbs and warm Moroccan spices like cumin and harissa, then dressed in lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil. The final touch, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds!

Moroccan-Style Carrot Salad

water

Kosher salt

carrots,

celery stalk, chopped

tsp harissa spice

tsp cumin

tsp coriander

tsp sweet paprika

garlic cloves, minced

celery

cilantro

lemon juice

tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

tbsp toasted sesame seeds, optional

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook for about 20 minutes until nice and tender. Drain.

Transfer the cooked carrots immediately to a large mixing bowl. And while nice and warm, season with a dash kosher salt, and the spices (harissa spice, cumin, coriander and paprika.) Add minced garlic, celery, cilantro, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.

If you like, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Give the carrot salad a good toss to combine. Set the carrot salad aside for a bit before serving (it's best served at room temperature.)

This simple carrot salad with raisins gets an upgrade with a slightly spicy, slightly sweet, and very addictive sauce. It brings out the sweet freshness of the carrots and makes the whole dish sing. We are tempted to pour it over all of our salads from here on out.

Which is your favorite veggie to snack on?

Five-alarm spicy!!!  If you're new to using harissa, start with just a pinch and taste before you decide to add more.  I made the recipe as written, and apparently my store-bought harissa was highly potent.  Our mouths were on fire.  The next time I adjusted the recipe to about 1/8 tsp of harissa and 1 1/2 Tbsp honey, and everyone thought it was delicious -- just the right combination of sweet, smoky, and spicy.  I'll be putting this in our regular rotation with the adjusted measurements.

Carrot Fries Are The New Sweet Potato Fries

A quick and easy lamb recipe – this supper beats the takeaway version hands down.

Lamb tikka with spiced carrot salad in flatbread

tbsp plain yogurt

ginger,

curry powder

lamb leg steaks,

olive oil

tsp black mustard seeds

cherry tomatoes, halved

coriander,

round flatbreads, chapatis

Tomato relish

Mix the yogurt, ginger and curry powder together in a large bowl. Add the lamb cubes, turn to coat, then leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mustard seeds and cook over a medium heat until they begin to pop. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the carrots, lime zest and juice, tomatoes and coriander with the extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the grill to medium and thread the lamb onto 4 skewers (see tip). Lay the skewers on a baking tray lined with foil. Season and grill for 4 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked but still juicy.

Spoon the carrot salad onto the flatbreads, top with the lamb and some relish and roll up to eat.

These seasoned fries are cooked to perfection in the air fryer and make a great side dish or snack. But the best part? They&#039;re actually good for you! Made with just a few simple ingredients, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. I will warn you, though, they are addicting!

The Best Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

sweet potatoes (or 4 medium sweet potatoes)

cornstarch

garlic powder

paprika

tsp sea salt

tsp black pepper

Peel

Wash and peel your sweet potatoes.  Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise with a sharp knife on a cutting board.  Then cut each half in half again lengthwise.  You will have 4 sections of sweet potato.  Cut each section into fries.  You want them to be quite small, about ¼-inch wide.

Soak

Place the sweet potato fries into a large bowl, and cover with cold water.  Let them soak for a minimum of 1 hour or as long as overnight.

Drain the water out and place the sweet potatoes on a towel on the counter.  Pat dry with paper towels.  You want them to be as dry as possible.

Season

Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl.  Add about 3 tsp of cornstarch, ¾ tsp of garlic powder, ¾ tsp paprika, ½ tsp of sea salt, and ⅛ tsp of black pepper. Use a large spoon and mix up the cornstarch and seasonings into the sweet potatoes.  The white cornstarch will disappear. Add 3 tbsp of olive oil, and mix it up again.

Cook

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Add the sweet potatoes to the basket of the air fryer in a single layer, with space between them to allow the hot air to circulate. Do not overcrowd the basket.  Cook in small batches so that they cook evenly and get really crispy.

Shake

Set the cooking time for 15 minutes, and be sure to give the air fryer basket a good shake every 5 minutes.

Serve

That&#39;s it! Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Enjoy

Such a delicious and easy lunch! I didn’t have celery on hand so I subbed sliced purple cabbage. I’ll definitely make this again.

So delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!

I have never tried this ingredient have lots Pecans.  I gathered them.  so will try with those.   Thank you Joseph

This salad is so perfectly balanced, I can’t quite put it into words. Some sweetness from the carrot, some tang in the dressing, grounded by the roasted almonds and all whilst still feeling light. This is definitely going to be one of my new staples! Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been spot on. Thank you Sylvia!

I love this salad... the vinaigrette really makes it sing! I'm enjoying all of your recipes Sylvia... so very grateful to have found your site. It's helpful to me as I segue from pescatarian to vegan.

I'm working my way through your lunch recipes, and haven't met any I don't care for yet :).  My girls want school lunches that don't have to be warmed up.  This is another good, hearty lunch for all of us.  Love the flavors!  Thank you :).

Such a fresh tasty salad ❤️
Delicious 😋

Hey I love the recipie I was just wondering how much this makes so I can get the right amount of ingredients.

Thank you so much Sylvia that’s great to know

Wonderful recipe and the result is a very very tasting salad. A new favorite for sure!

I did not had almonds in my pantry but found a bag of walnuts and used them instead. That worked well too! The all spice was missing too, so after a quick google I made my own.
 I have to say, adding all spice really lifts the salad to another level! Yum!

Now let’s see how my family likes it when I serve it tonight!

Did you change the dressing up a little bit? I've made this a kajillion times and have never noticed it had dijon mustard in it.

This salad is a family favorite.

Another one of your recipes I will be making again! Very tasty and perfect as is.
